you move to an area where the voltage requirements differ,

adjust the selector switch as follows:

÷ Be sure to disconnect the power cord from its outlet be-

fore making this adjustment.

÷ Use a medium-sized (flat blade) screwdriver. Insert the

tip of the screwdriver into the groove of the selector

switch and turn it so that the power voltage making

of your area points to the arrow.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging

the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet

as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the

unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.

Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power

cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on.

A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock.

Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask

your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a

replacement.

CONFIRM SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear of the

remote control unit, and insert the batteries ( size "AAA" (IEC

R03)), taking care to align the

ª and · polarities correctly.

NOTES:

÷ In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries

when not using the remote control unit for an extended

period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully

wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and

replace the batteries with new ones.

÷ Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the

remote control unit, since the buttons may be depressed,

causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

When operating the remote control unit, point the unit's

infrared signal transmitter at the remote control receiver

(REMOTE SENSOR) on the front panel of the player. The

remote control unit can be used within a range of about 7

meters (23 feet) from the remote sensor, and within angles

of up to about 30 degrees.

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.

Always be sure to follow these guidelines:

A. Always insert batteries into the battery compartment

correctly matching the positive

ª and negative

·polarities, as shown by the display inside the

compartment.

B. Never mix new and used batteries.

C. Batteries of the same size may have different voltages,

depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of

batteries.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS

(PD-M427 only)

7 m

NOTE:

If the remote control sensor window is in a position where it

receives strong light such as sunlight or fluorescent light,

control may not be possible.

NOTE for PD-M407:

Operate the PD-M407 using the remote control unit which

accompanies the amplifier. (See page 6.)

NOTES:

÷ In order to play an 8-cm (3-inch) CD you will need a special

Multi CD Magazine (JD-M108, JD-M308) which is sold separately.

Be sure to thoroughly read the Operating Instructions before using

it.

÷ 8-cm (3-inch) CD Adapters

It is possible that even an adapter which meets recommended

standard CD specifications will not be usable with the CD player.

It is recommended that the special Multi CD Magazine (JD-M108,

JD-M308) be used.

÷ Never load an 8-cm (3-inch) CD or its adapter into a standard 12-

cm (5-inch) magazine. This may seriously damage the CD player.

÷ Do not insert only an 8-cm (3-inch) disc and adapter into the

supplied magazine.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

LOCATION

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be

exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct rays

of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely

affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player

in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or an

accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may

be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

Do not install the player on a tottered stand nor in an unstable or

inclined place.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-

generating sources such as amplifiers will affect performance. Avoid

placing the player on heat-generating sources.

÷ Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and

TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to such

equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

÷ Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor antenna

is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna, or turn off

power to the compact disc player.

÷ Please place this unit on a level surface.

CLEANING THE PLAYER AND THE MAGAZINE

To clean the PLAYER and the MAGAZINE, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made

by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then

wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not

use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to

the unit.

STORING DISCS

÷ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional

analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp; always

store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat

or humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in

cars, since the seat of a car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably

hot.

÷ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc

labels.

CD LENS CLEANER

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but

if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your

nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD

players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised

in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

CONDENSATION

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold

surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply,

condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain

its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to stand for about an

hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

CLEANING AND HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

÷ Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft

cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery.

÷ If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after

wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove

any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

÷ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.

Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile

solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

÷ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces (the side

reflecting a "rainbow" pattern, opposite the label side). Hold by the

edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

÷ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also, do

not scratch or damage the label.

÷ Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged

(cracked or warped) discs.

With this unit, use a Compact Disc carrying the mark shown

below. Do not use other disc, for this may result in

malfunction or damage.

CAUTION RE: USE OF SHAPED CD's

This product is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CD's

only. Use of shaped CD's is not recommended for this product.

Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of

shaped CD's.
